Background: In recent years, there has been an improvement in the in vitro and in vivo methodology for the screening of anti-chagasic compounds. Millions of compounds can now have their activity evaluated (in large compound libraries) by means of high throughput in vitro screening assays. Objective: Current approaches to drug discovery for Chagas disease. Method: This review article examines the contribution of these methodological advances in medicinal chemistry in the last four years, focusing on Trypanosoma cruzi infection, obtained from the PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases. Results: Here, we have shown that the promise is increasing each year for more lead compounds for the development of a new drug against Chagas disease. Conclusion: There is increased optimism among those working with the objective to find new drug candidates for optimal treatments against Chagas disease.

Background: Reckoning molecular topological indices of drug structures gives the data about the underlying topology of these drug structures. Novel anticancer drugs have been leading by researchers to produce ideal drugs. Materials and Methods: Pharmacological properties of these new drug agents explored by utilizing simulation strategies. Topological indices additionally have been utilized to research pharmacological properties of some drug structures. Novel alkylating agents based anticancer drug candidates and ve-degree molecular topological indices have been introduced recently. Results and Conclusion: In this study we calculate ve-degree atom-bond connectivity, harmonic, geometric-arithmetic and sum-connectivity molecular topological indices for the newly defined alkylating agents based dual-target anticancer drug candidates.

Wide Range

The 1,3-butadiene motif is widely found in many natural products and drug candidates with relevant biological activities. Moreover, dienes are important targets for synthetic chemists, due to their ability to give access to a wide range of functional group transformations, including a broad range of C-C bond-forming processes. Therefore, the stereoselective preparation of dienes have attracted much attention over the past decades, and the search for new synthetic protocols continues unabated. The aim of this review is to give an overview of the diverse methodologies that have emerged in the last decade, with a focus on the synthetic processes that meet the requirements of efficiency and sustainability of modern organic chemistry.
